Description

A combination of crosslinked cationic polymers and amphoteric polymers for personal and household applications {A COMBINATION OF CROSSLINKED CATIONIC AND AMPHOLYTIC POLYMERS FOR PERSONAL AND HOUSEHOLD APPLICATIONS}

Embodiments described herein relate generally to compositions containing crosslinked cationic polymers and amphoteric polymers, and to methods of using such compositions for consumer and / or industrial applications.

Cationic polymers, from the use of polymers, include the rheology of chemically and physiologically active ingredients in personal hygiene (eg, cosmetic, oral care, baby care), home, or pet care compositions in the final product. personal hygiene, household, industrial, and institutional products to perform a range of functions as gelling agents, binders, thickeners, stabilizers, emulsions, spraying and deposition aids, carriers for rheology, efficacy, deposition, aesthetics and delivery. It is widely used in. Depending on this application, the substrate may be a skin, hair, or textile substrate.

Cationic polymers are used in hair care products to provide conditioning to hair. In skin care products, these same polymers can provide conditioning effects to the skin. When incorporated into detergents and fabric softening formulations, these same polymers may provide the fabric with conditioning, softening, anti-pilling, color retention, and antistatic properties.

Hair consists of keratin, sulfur-containing fibrous proteins. Keratin, and more particularly the isoelectric point of hair, are generally in the pH range of 3.2 to 4.0. Thus, at the pH of conventional shampoos (about 5.5 to 6.5), the hair has a total negative charge. As a result, cationic polymers, due to their positive charges, either as conditioners in shampoo formulations or as separate treatments in order to improve the wet and dry combability of the hair. It has been used for a long time. Substantivity of cationic polymers to negatively charged hairs with membrane formation promotes detangling during wet hair combing and reduction of static flyaway during combing of dry hair. Cationic polymers generally also impart softness and suppleness to the hair. As such, most shampoos incorporate conditioners into the shampoo to alleviate these problems, but this has the inherent problem of balanced cleansing efficacy for delivering conditioning benefits. For example, when cationic polymers are added to shampoos containing anionic surfactants, formation of highly surface active association complexes generally occurs, which gives the shampoo improved foam stability but poor conditioning Can be provided. Maximum surface activity or soap lather is achieved at an almost stoichiometric ratio of anionic surfactant: cationic polymer, where the composite has low water solubility. However, cationic conditioners often exhibit some immiscibility at these ratios. Miscibility provides a more commercially desired transparent formulation, while immiscibility leads to haze or precipitation, which is less aesthetically desirable in some formulations. In addition, when cationic surfactants are added as constituents to shampoos, these do not provide optimal overall conditioning for hair in a soft area and tend to accumulate in the hair, resulting in an unclean feeling.

The minimum function of the shampoo is to clean the hair. The cleaning is accomplished by the removal of natural oils called sebum, and foreign substances that are accumulated or intentionally added from the atmosphere, such as styling resins. However, shampooing removes natural oils and other moisturizing substances. In order to be acceptable to the consumer, the product must exhibit good cleaning properties, good soap bubble formation characteristics, and be gentle to the skin and preferably moisturize the skin. The ideal shampoo should gently clean the hair and scalp and cause little or no irritation and should not excessively dry the scalp or hair after frequent use. Conventional shampoos have an inherent problem of balanced cleansing efficacy for delivering conditioning benefits. If the hair has a significant length, the hair can become tangled and difficult to handle. Immediately after drying, the hair loses its glitter and shine and can dry and curl. Hair can also maintain an electrostatic charge that, upon drying, forms "fly-away hair." In the case of a shower during such shampooing, natural oils and the like are also removed from the skin and nails.

The use of known high soap bubble forming anionic surfactants with foam boosters achieves acceptable soap bubble volumes, but these are known to provide irritation to the skin. Mild surfactants that provide minimal skin irritation are very poor for soap bubbles. These two facts influence the delicate balance of the choice of surfactants to optimize soap bubble performance. Mildness is often obtained with the loss of effective cleaning and soap bubble formation. If the conditioning component in a shampoo system can help to produce a foam of good quality, most of the above mentioned problems can be greatly reduced.

To further complicate this balance, one would like to further modify the shampoo to minimize color fading of the dyed hair. Hair color technology has evolved significantly over the years to make the hair color more fade to meet the high expectations of consumers who want to keep the color for several shampoos. Color desire is related to making hair lose its luster and make it less shiny. There is an increasing demand for products that protect hair collars.

Even for hair that has not been dyed, daily washing and styling can remove its moisture and natural oils from the hair, causing them to crumble and lose shine. Thus, temporarily or permanently dyed hair requires protection, especially to maintain its condition and color. Due to their small size, the dye molecules are easily leached from the hair, resulting in fading or change of color tone, physical, mechanical or chemical damage upon environmental exposure. Given the cost and long term damage of hair dyeing, it may be desirable to minimize color loss. In addition, in the case of hair that is subjected to two chemical treatments or treated in a daily heated styling manner, the hair is difficult to manage and the color fades, requiring special products and components to meet this need.

Silicone and film forming polymers, as well as olefin graft polymers, are used to prevent hair color fading. Incorporation of these ingredients may further exhibit weakness in the shampoo formulation. For example, when various silicones are added to shampoos with good cleaning anionic surfactants, improved conditioning and color retention properties can be observed, but silicones tend to accumulate in the hair after repeated shampoo application. Gives the hair an unclean appearance of intelligence.

As mentioned above, the use of such cationic conditioning polymers is not limited to hair, and is often other personal hygiene (eg, cosmetics, oral care, baby care), pet care, or household products. Used in household compositions. When a consumer washes fabrics, these seek to provide not only good quality in cleaning but also good fabric care benefits. These cares include wrinkle reduction, removal or prevention benefits, fabric flexibility, fabric feel, garment appearance maintenance and recovery, elasticity, ease of ironing, fragrance, color care, wear resistance, anti-pilling, or their It can be exemplified by one or more of the combination. Compositions that provide both cleaning and fabric care benefits, such as fabric softening benefits, are known as "2 in 1" detergent compositions and / or "softening-through-the-wash" compositions. have.

Accordingly, there is a continuing need for combinations of polymers that may be useful in a broad class of applications but may be particularly suitable for use in protecting collars and providing improved foam quality in personal and home applications.

Example

The following examples are provided to demonstrate the synergistic effect of the properties on the compositions of the present invention. The following examples are intended for purposes of illustration and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

Example 1

Hair color preservation tests were performed with virgin Level 12 white hair tresses purchased from an international hair importer (Glendale, NY). Two hair tresses, each weighing 2 g, were mixed with 8 g of L'OREAL? Treatment with permanent color R68 for 25 minutes. The swatch was rinsed with water for 1 minute at a rate of 3.8 lit / min. Thereafter, 1 g of ALS solution was applied for 30 seconds and maintained for 1 minute, rinsing the hair sample with 3% ALS solution by rinsing with tap water for 1 minute at a rate of 3.8 lit / min and rinsing with deionized water for 15 seconds. Shampooed. The specimens were dried overnight in a humidity chamber at 65% relative humidity. The next day the specimen was again shampooed with 3% ALS following the procedure provided above and kept overnight in a humidity chamber. The next day, the tress was shampooed with the shampoo of the composition shown in Table 1 below. Shampoo A is MERQUAT? 5210, crosslinked cationic polymer (available from Nalco Company (Naperville, IL)) and MERQUAT? 2003PR, amphoteric polymers (available from Nalco Company) at concentrations of 0.1 and 0.2%, respectively. Shampoo B is 0.1% MERQUAT? 5210 and Shampoo C contains 0.2% MERQUAT? 2003PR, and Shampoo D does not contain any polymer as a control.

Table 1

Each swatch was massaged between palms, treated with 1 g of shampoo for 30 seconds, held for 1 minute and rinsed for 1 minute by following the procedure mentioned above. The specimen was gently wiped off and dried at room temperature for 4 hours. After 4 hours, initial L, a, b color measurements were recorded using the Hunter Colorimeter as default. The samples were shampooed a total of 20 times and were recorded at intervals of 5, 10, 15, and 20 washes. Hunter Tristimulus L, a, b values were measured using Hunter Colorimeter LabScan XE (Hunter Associates, Reston, VA). Data was expressed as before and after washing, with full color change ΔΕ = [ΔL ² + Δa ² + Δb ² ]. ΔΕ values are averages of measurements performed at various locations and are shown in Table 2 below. The lower the ΔΕ value, the less color fading before and after washing, which is desired for such compositions.

The results show that MERQUAT? 5210 and MERQUAT? The lowest delta E value for the combination of 2003PR is shown. The unexpectedly lower delta E for composition A indicates that there is a synergistic effect between the two polymers to help protect hair color fading from shampooing.

Example 2

The composition from Example 1 was then subjected to a foam test (Hart DeGeorge). The foam test measures the amount of time consumed by the foam generated from the shampoo to pass 20 mesh sheaves. About 200 g of 10% by weight shampoo solution in deionized water was mixed for 60 seconds at high speed in a commercial blender. The gauging wire was placed near the bottom of the funnel. The time for the level of foam to reach the wai was recorded. Higher retention times are preferred. Each sample was then poured into a funnel with a gauging wire placed near the bottom and the time required for the foam to reach the wire was recorded. If the foam produced has large bubbles or has a low density, less time is required to move compared to the foam having a small roughness size and high density.

Hart DeGeorge foam results are shown in Table 3 below. The result is a retention time in seconds. In the results, the concentration of MERQUAT? 5210 and MERQUAT? Shampoos containing both 2003PR (shampoo A) were found to produce the best foams. It has the longest retention time of 56 seconds, which is an unexpected value, which is significantly higher compared to the rest, especially the control. The results show a synergistic effect between the two polymers because the individual polymers exhibit lower retention times than the combined ones. In addition, the foam generated by this combination has a small bubble size, which is very dense, creamy and has a soft feel, which is a property favored by consumers.

TABLE 3

Embodiments of the present invention may provide at least one of the following advantages. The composition can provide excellent cleaning, conditioning, as well as color retention, properties for use in a wide variety of personal, household, and industrial products. In particular, with improved foam and color retention properties, improved overall conditioning can be synergistically achieved by combining the amphoteric polymers and crosslinked cationic polymers of the present invention. Such compositions can provide improved conditioning, soap bubbles, and color protection while reducing the level of undesirable side effects that can be obtained by increasing the level of conditioning agent in a conventionally known conditioning system. The combination of these two components can provide a synergistic effect, whereby the improvement of the properties achieved when the two polymer components are used together is significantly improved compared to using the two polymer components independently. When used in hair care products, the compositions of the present invention can alter the deposition of materials on both amphoteric and crosslinked cationic polymers (and their synergistic effects), multifms polymers, surfactants, or hair. Due to the presence of other compounds, it can provide a smooth feel and can be easily rinsed from the hair, provide good forming characteristics, and provide good color retention. Combinations of amphoteric polymers and crosslinked cationic polymers can also provide conditioning properties in both wet and dry conditions, as well as smooth feel, silicone, and also static reduction (hairless hair), hair Damage prevention, hair elasticity and strength improvement can be provided.
